Tommy Lee Walker, wrongfully convicted in 1953, is posthumously exonerated after nearly 70 years.
Nearly 70 years after his execution, Tommy Lee Walker, a Black man from Texas, has been posthumously exonerated in the 1953 rape and murder of Venice Parker, a white store clerk in Dallas.
A joint review by the Dallas County DA’s office, the Innocence Project of New York, and Northeastern University found the original case was built on false evidence, unreliable testimony, and racial bias, with the trial occurring amid racial fears of a Black “Peeping Tom.” The exoneration acknowledges Walker was wrongfully convicted and executed in 1956, highlighting enduring racial injustices in the U.S. criminal justice system.
